What reviewers say

American Hunter names it a top choice among compact rangefinders and calls it a simple, affordable answer to most hunting shot problems. Reviewers like the light weight, long battery life and the ballistic holds for rifle shooters. Petersen's Hunting ran it through a summer of shooting and scouting. We saw no common complaints beyond the limits of a 5x unit.

Good

  • Very light and pocket sized
  • Bow and rifle angle modes
  • Last Target mode reads past brush
  • Fair price

Not so good

  • 5x magnification is modest
  • 900 yd deer range is shorter than some rivals
  • Ballistic setup takes a read of the manual

Who it's for

Bowhunters and deer hunters who want a light, reliable rangefinder without paying for long-range extras. Long-range rifle shooters may want more reach.
